Empire International Merchandising Corp. has inked a deal to distribute Earthworks Ent.’s animated home video series, Z-Force, in the Asian marketplace. The deal marks Earthworks’ first commercial deal for its entertainment-driven merchandise licensing property, and puts Z-Force in good company with The Simpsons, Transformers: The Movie and Ice Age: The Meltdown, which are also handled by Empire in Asia.
Z-Force revolves around normal teens who learn that they each possess the power to transform into a superhero representing one of the 12 animals of the Chinese/Asian Zodiac. Once in costume, the characters all exhibit the primary animal characteristics attributed to the year of their birth, and secondary animal characteristics associated with the month of their birth. Clips from the series can be seen at www.earthworksentertainment.com. More information on Empire’s lineup is available at www.EmpireMultimedia.com.
